Could I go 24 for 24? I've never done that! It would be awesome!!!!
But now we are at the BIGGIE.
BEST PICTURE
Look for The Hurt Locker to continue its winning ways. I say that with a heavy heart as it is NOT deserving. So why will it win? Because it was written by a liberal reporter, is an anti-war film, and was directed by a woman who is James Cameron's ex-wife.
BUT, this year there aren't just ten nominees. There's also a new voting method. Instead of just giving the award to the film with the most votes, it is a preferential ballot. That is a fancy way of saying votes are weighted.... Odd, I know, but that's the Academy for you.
Winner: The Hurt Locker
I went 24 for 24. Good for me.
Too bad a so-so film won Hollywood's biggest award.
BOO!
